“1, 2 Step” is Ciara’s follow-up single and music video to “Goodies” off of the album of the same name, “Goodies”. The song is obviously inspired (extremely inspired, I might add) by 1980s electronic music. In the lyrics, Ciara often describes …

Barry Manilow: Summer of ‘78 CD
The liner jacket for Barry Manilow: Summer of ‘78 CD is nothing more than a very long credits listing, so that’s a little disappointing. There is a quick few lines signed by Barry on the last page, but that doesn’t help to make the liner worthwhile. When …
